RE: Do Your Parents Believe in You? And Steemit?
I am a parent and I believe in my kids whatever they do. Their choices in life shape them as people, so long as they understand two main factors, kindness and empathy, otherwise however will they grow into responsible adults?
The reason why I am this way? Because my mom never believed in me. She wanted me to live my life the way she envisioned it. Since I chose to do things a little differently our relationship has broken down because she cannot accept the life i have chosen. It's a difficult one but letting go is a start.
@holisticmom exactly. It's too bad some people actually raise their kids with any sort of specific expectation. Trust me, that will never met. Your kids are not you and they will develop in ways you could never imagine. Hopefully and probably, for the better :)
100%. The sooner more people understand this then the better the world will become. :-)
It also teaches children to have little trust in their own instinctual journey and other human beings. What works for one person is not the same for another and for a parent to force their life on a child is surely a recipe for disaster later on in life.
Yes, I hear people say this so often:
"I cannot believe you do that, I would never ...... "
Yes because you apparently always think from your own perspective. Maybe another person has other values, interests and insights and therefore would like to, go skydiving, start a business, or date a person 10 years older whatever :P
